Good to know more about your background, Shani! So you are more of a financial conservative than a moral one, is that correct?

Sure Sarah is for abstinence, arent most parents? lol Just because her 17 year old is preggie doesnt mean she failed at that. How many of us did things that were against what our parents told us? ESPECIALLY as teenagers? Its like the old saying "You can lead a horse to water, but you cant make it drink" You can tell your kids what they should/shouldnt do....but dont be surprised when they dont listen. Her daughter is no different that the rest of america's teenagers just because she holds a government office. Shoot, its like being a preachers kid lol I cant tell you how many of those that I've know that are the complete opposite of what their daddy's preach lol

Right, but don't you think that sex education might have done more good than harm, in this situation? Clearly the abstinence "education" didn't do much for the girl, anyway... what would be the harm in teaching her how to have sex responsibly? That's the issue I have with it... not in what happened with her daughter, but in that Palin wants to institute abstinence-only education... with obvious proof that it just plain doesn't work, even in her own family.
As for the Reverend Wright situation... I'm not sure what that has to do with Obama's actual IQ, though it might say that he's not very good at being a "smart politician" (though I don't trust those, anyway). Does his Harvard Law degree and achievements really mean nothing to you, compared to, say... McCain graduating at the rock-bottom of his class, and Palin switching colleges 5 or 6 times in order to finally graduate? Why doesn't actual educational achievement mean something, when it comes to politicians?
I'm also curious to know what it was that you liked about Bush Jr, and what made you become disillusioned in this most recent term.
